If you are open world and a mag dk is being really annoying with roots and wings just run away lol. If you are dueling time your burst for when wings are down and just keep pressuring their stam pool. You can slot conceal weapeon but that will force you to fight in melee range where you will be at a huge disadvantage

I don't really agree with that... Magblades might not have as strong a house as Templars or Sorcs, but they still do have Refreshing Path which is great for keeping up pressure even while not putting direct pressure, it is a very strong DoT and HoT now after all. With the abundance of HoTs on a magblade, you can definitely allow yourself to go into melee range with DKs and considering the fact that once empowered by Soul Harvest, Concealed Weapon and the Bow proc would be doing some massive melee range burst.
But either way, rare are the DKs that use scales in duels.

Refreshing path will tick for around 300 to 700 damage on most mag dks. A mag dks dots will cancel out your hots plus some extra damage. Sure you can fight in melee range with a mag dk but i wouldn't because I'm walking right into his root spam. You have range and he doesn't why play where he wants you to play. I also wouldn't say magblade has a house. You are built for healing over time and lack a burst heal so you need be constantly kiting to make sure those hots can fill your health up. If you try to stand your ground you aren't playing your build to its maximum effectiveness

Unfortunately, force pulse lol its ridiculous.

How on Earth can swallow soul even be reflected is kinda beyond me. I can understand crippling grasp but whatver lol

Mag NB is genuinely a patch note or two away from being completely dead

Wings are just somewhat of a hard counter to magblade sort of like crippling grasp is to magplars. What's making you feel like magblade is becoming a dead class? it's actually one of the stronger classes right now. It just requires a little more user input to be effective

Strife(and it's morphs) aren't even a proyectile visually speaking, the nightblade literally ''grabs'' a piece of your soul or life essence or whatever and transfers it to him. IDK how that being reflectable makes any kind of sense when stuff like force pulse or cliff racer aren't, at least cripple(and it's morphs) are actually a red cloudy thing that travels at ground level to reach the target so it makes more sense(even tho it could have it's travel speed increased)
